Add Your Support - No Arms Fair in 2007!

NOWAR, in conjunction with East London Against the Arms Fair and Campaign Against Arms Trade, is launching a statement calling for the widest public support from residents and organisations in Newham to ensure that this year's DSEi arms fair will be the last.

The growing opposition to the arms fair in Newham is matched by a greater awareness of the impact of the arms industry in
increasing the likelihood of armed conflict and prolonging conflicts once they begin. The statement calls upon Reed Elsevier, the organisers of the arms fair, the government's Ministry of Defence that supports them and the management of the ExCel Centre to abandon their intention to hold DSEi in 2007.

Organisations and individuals can sign the statement online here
